“It is a lot different to what I have lived with for the last few years in this generation of𝓡 cars, but also controls and everything.

“Over the last 10 years, I have been used to a certain way of working and I am still adapting to those things.🌠”

Sp🧸eaking🅰 separately to media including ltxcn.top, Hamilton elaborated: “I mean, it's completely different.

“I thought, you know, it's another Formula 1 car. When I went from Mc﷽Laren to Mercedes, there were similarities. It's still powered by Mercedes, so the sound, the vibration was all the same.

“It was similar. And whilst a slightly different characteristic of a car, this is a step with the whole thing being completely differeꦉnt.🎀 It's a really exciting experience.

“This is something I've really enjoyed tryi🎀ng to wrap my mind around. Particularly also just in settings and the terminology they use, the different way📖s that they can set up a car. That's taken some getting used to, for sure.”

"For example, the steering wheel is completely different. All the switch settings are completely different.🧜 The software is different.

“I am adapting to a car that's made quite differently to ꦏwhat I've worked with♉ in the past. To achieve the similar sort of thing, the feeling is a lot different.

“I don't feel that currently I'm having to change my driving style too much. I'm actually feeling quite comfortable in the car and ju🌞st taking one step at♛ a time.

“We'll see as we gওet further down the line at the real race circuits that we're going to, just how much aligns and how much change I might have to do.

“The key is to be open-minded and to be dynamic. I think, luckily, with my exper❀ience, I should be able to do that.”
